What it does

Design it properly

Most QR apps hand you a black square. Here you shape it, colour it, drop your logo in the middle and set it into an illustrated scene — sticky note, price tag, ticket, neon sign, business card, event poster and more, 18 in all. There are 13 dot shapes and 5 finder shapes, gradients, and a separate colour for the corners, plus 14 frames and 5 caption fonts, or write your own line of text.

Colour it from your own picture

Pick one of your photos and the dots take their colour from it. The picture is darkened just enough that the code still reads — you do not have to guess how far is too far.

Codes that move

Choose a GIF or a video and the whole code animates. Every frame is darkened exactly the way a still photo is, so every one of them still scans, and it shares as a looping GIF. A long video is sampled down to a loop that fits rather than being refused.

Always scannable

A live contrast check runs while you design and gives a plain verdict: good, risky, or won't scan. A design that would fail cannot be saved — one tap repairs the colours and keeps the rest of your design. Decoration is drawn around the code, never over it, and adding a logo raises the error correction level automatically to make room.

Twelve kinds of code

Link, social profile, Wi-Fi, contact card, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, location, calendar event, payment link and plain text.

A scanner that does not act on its own

Read any code with the camera, or from a photo you already have. Nothing opens by itself — you see the exact contents first, every time, so a code on a stranger's poster cannot send you somewhere before you have looked. Scan history stays on your device and is never uploaded.

Static, and yours

No account, no sign-up, no server. Your codes sync through your own iCloud, or stay on one device. Every code is static: it carries its own content rather than pointing at a redirect somebody else owns, so it keeps working forever — even if this app disappears.

Questions

Do the QR codes made with this app expire?

No. Every code is static — it carries its own content rather than pointing at a redirect the developer owns, so it keeps working even if the app disappears. Dynamic-QR services stop working when the subscription lapses; these do not.

Can I put a logo in the middle of a QR code without breaking it?

Yes. When you add a logo the app raises the error correction level automatically to make room, and decoration is always drawn around the code rather than over it.

How do I know a styled QR code will still scan?

The app runs a live contrast check while you design and gives a plain verdict: good, risky, or won't scan. A design that would fail cannot be saved, and one tap repairs the colours while keeping the rest of the design.

What kinds of QR codes can it make?

Twelve: link, social profile, Wi-Fi, contact card, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, location, calendar event, payment link and plain text.

Is the built-in scanner safe to use?

Nothing opens on its own. After a scan you see the exact contents first, every time. Scan history stays on the device and is never uploaded.

Does it need an account or internet access?

No account, no sign-up and no server. Codes sync through your own iCloud or stay on one device.

What is free and what does Pro unlock?

Generating and scanning codes and the standard styles are free. Pro unlocks all 18 illustrated scenes, every frame and dot shape, gradients, custom colours and your own logo in the middle. It is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription; the yearly plan has a 7-day free trial for new subscribers and the price is shown before you confirm.

More questions

What does Pro cost, and is there a trial?

Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly or yearly; the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. The exact price for your region is shown on the purchase screen before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and it renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends.

How do I cancel?

Open iOS Settings › your name › Subscriptions, choose QR Code Studio, then Cancel Subscription. You keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for.

If I stop paying, do my codes stop working?

No. Every code this app makes is static, so an image you already exported keeps scanning to the same thing forever, with or without a subscription. Pro buys the design tools, not the codes.

I paid but the app still shows Free

Open the purchase screen and tap Restore purchases, and check you are signed in with the same Apple Account used for the purchase. If it still does not unlock, email us with your Apple Account region and roughly when you bought it.
